Episode Notes

Game Changer the Book⁠⁠

Ever wonder if teaching resilience means just telling your players to “tough it out”? Think again!

Too many coaches see resilience as brute toughness, not the steady acceptance and growth it really is. This episode, with Bill Flitter and guest author and coach Dan Gold, will reshape how you fuel your athletes’ spirit, both on and off the court.

Are you coaching more than just wins?

Listen in to discover:


Turning losses into learning, not just stings.


Handling athlete identity beyond sports.


Using sports stories to spark real self-reflection in your team.

There’s even more wisdom inside this episode!
